i may hate almost everything ab this country but fuck i love the bucharest metro. look at this! actual street art not being repressed??
@isa can't see shit captain, also indoors "art" is ugly
@jonossaseuraava @isa one thing is concrete, other thing is train windows that let light inside and lets see passengers what station it is. 
💀
@hj @isa @jonossaseuraava
That's what the PA system is for. And if you're deaf, tough luck. Don't use the metro. 
@alyx @isa @jonossaseuraava PA system can be hard to hear at times and sometime you're not sure what station it said. Sometimes PA is plain wrong

If you guys can't even get a PA system right, I feel sorry for you.

@alyx @isa @jonossaseuraava nah it's just that driver is irresponsible and skips a station or pushes button twice by accident
@hj @isa @jonossaseuraava
Not gonna pretend I know how our metro's PA system works, but I can tell you I've never had the experience where it got a station wrong. If I were to guess, I'd say it was automated in some way, and not based on the whims of a driver pushing a button.
@hj @alyx @isa @jonossaseuraava Sounds like a quite broken system, the metro probably already knows where it is on the line.
@lanodan @alyx @isa @jonossaseuraava it depends, soviet metro used several different versions of the PA system, some I think used radio where station would broadcast PA announcement to train as it arrives, but most later ones were different forms of casette tape like devices, from actual casette tapes to glorified mp3 players.
Metro train most often does not know where it is on the line, those systems are a bit rare. Remember that trains have more electrics than they do electronics, and they date to 1940s-1950s, transistors weren't widespread back then, so "where i am on the line" system just wasn't possible, i mean the best and most widespread system that IS put into place is speed regulation, which lets train know "what speed limit is on this segment", and that only happened around 1960s.
I guess some systems like st. petersburg metro does have this advanced stuff like letting train know where it is, auto-drive for precise stopping (for "horizontal elevator" type stations) and stuff, but those are more of an exception than rule. Only in recent years (2010s?) they added a (better) precise stopping electronics system.
Hey if you have 30GiB+ to spare you can try jank ass gmod metro simulator on my server https://ebin.club/site/garrys-mod-servers/
